Gundog Breeds Association Of Scotland

German Shorthaired Pointers

I would like to thank the Officers and Committee of Gundog Breeds Association of Scotland for their kind invitation to judge GSP with CCs at this show. This was my first time awarding CCs for this breed and I was really pleased with both the number and quality of the entry. My steward worked efficiently and tirelessly all day.
